Being realistic, shipping two x servers is simply not going to happen in
time.
It'll need lots of extra work including more h/w detection and automatic
installation of the legacy x server (assuming the user wants the
proprietary drivers only, the free drivers will of course want the
latest xserver instead).
I feel it's just too much complication at this late stage to do this.
Perhaps someone can do some clever edits on the binaries to make them
work with the newer xserver...
